Beyond The Visible - Hilma af Klint

Documentary94 min

Hilma af Klint emerged in early-1900s Sweden with abstract paintings dated 1906, years before Kandinsky, yet her work remained largely absent from the history of modern art. Through her paintings, notebooks, and interviews with Anna Laestadius Larsson and Ulla af Klint, this documentary traces how a pioneering body of work was overlooked for decades. The film moves between her search for meaning, the scale of her archive, and the institutions that shaped which artists were recognized, framing af Klint not as a footnote but as a central figure whose work surfaced far too late.
